Days of the New (1999 album)
''Days of the New'' (also known as the ''Green'' album or ''Days of the New II'') is the second self-titled album of Louisville rock band Days of the New. Released on August 31, 1999, it marks the first album following frontman Travis Meeks' dismissal of the original backing band and the last under Outpost. While not nearly as commercially successful as its 1997 predecessor, ''Green'' acquired stronger appreciation by critics and featured two successful singles.
==Overview==
Shortly after finishing their 1998 tour with Metallica and Jerry Cantrell, after much turmoil, the original Days of the New split up. Todd Whitener, Matt Taul, and Jesse Vest would go on to form Tantric while Meeks carried on the Days of the New name. In February 1999, it was reported that while his ex-bandmates were looking for a new singer, Meeks was finishing up work on a second album tentatively titled ''Days of the New 2'' with an expected release in late spring or early summer that year. He eventually formed a new band lineup and hired an orchestra for his sophomore effort.〔(Days Of The New Are Two ) MTV.com (February 9, 1999). Retrieved on 12-31-10.〕
In contrast to the debut album, which has a more stripped down acoustic style, ''Green'' incorporates many different elements, namely an orchestra and female vocals. The darker song writing is also deemphasized in favor of more upbeat melodies as seen in "Flight Response" and "Take Me Back Then." Many of the album's songs contain intros and codas to seamlessly carry into the next song. While largely maintaining the acoustic feel of its predecessor (as evidenced by the folk number "Provider") ''Green'' even utilizes electronic percussion more commonly found in dance club music, particularly in the track "Enemy." This song, along with "Weapon and the Wound," became the album's radio singles.
A young Nicole Scherzinger put her studies at Wright State University on hold to sing backup vocals for ''Green''. Meeks noted that he wanted a female singer to "deliver some more world/operatic textures and sounds" and that her contributions were not buried in the back but instead featured prominently alongside his. Scherzinger performs on “Flight Response,” “The Real,” “Take Me Back Then,” “Phobics of Tragedy,” “Bring Yourself,” and “Last One.” Meeks claims that after touring for the album, the two grew apart creatively and that despite being an "amazing entertainer," she "didn’t seem to understand music very well."
